Kyle Tucker Unlikely to Return Until at Least Wednesday
Kyle Tucker (calf) has not yet progressed to running, according to manager Craig Counsell, but he has been hitting. Tucker is scheduled to travel to Chicago on Monday and then be re-evaluated before Tuesday's game at Wrigley Field, according to The Athletic's Patrick Mooney. Counsell has ruled Tucker out from returning from the 10-day injured list to play on Tuesday against the New York Mets, so the earliest he could return would be Wednesday. The 28-year-old All-Star has been out with a strained left calf for almost all of September, and the Cubs would like to get him back this week before the start of the postseason in October. "Of course," Counsell said, "you'd want some at-bats. And he's said that." A healthy Tucker will be crucial for the Cubbies to make a deep playoff run. With Tucker sidelined, Willi Castro has seen extra playing time in right field in Chicago.
